Death

Death 

Your apparition eradicates our happiness.
You usually grip the most loved souls .
Our happiness fades within a blink of an eye.
While relatives are pounded in tears like a glinding river .

Look when it strikes in families with deficiency
And there is no one to implant.
Not knowing what to touch nor let.
It is unbearable even to utter explanations.

We are sinking for its power 
Because its days are even sour 
Painful choruses
Tearing apart our innocent hearts, not to say fearfulness.

Death , You demolish like a cyclone.
You let no peace .
Your apparition is vicious to our hearts .
Death , Where do you come from ? .
